How Long, O Lord
Bless'd be the everlasting God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 189 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 13 Lyrics:
Blest be the everlasting God,
The Father of our Lord;
Be his abounding mercy praised,
His majesty adored.
When from the dead he raised his Son,
And called him to the sky,
He gave our souls a lively hope
That they should never die.
What though our inbred sins require
Our flesh to see the dust,
Yet as the Lord our Savior rose,
So all his followers must.
There's an inheritance divine
Reserved against that day;
'Tis uncorrupted, undefiled,
And cannot waste away.
Saints by the power of God are kept
Till the salvation come;
We walk by faith as strangers here,
Till Christ shall call us home.

Blest are the pure in heart
By Gracious Powers
Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer; Fred Pratt Green Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered Scripture: Psalm 13:5-6 Lyrics: 1 By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered,
And confidently waiting, come what may,
We know that God is with us night and morning
And never fails to greet us each new day.
2 Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented,
Still evil days bring burdens hard to bear;
O give our frightened souls the sure salvation
For which, O Lord, You taught us to prepare.
3 And when this cup You give is filled to brimming
With bitter suffering, hard to understand,
We take it thankfully and without trembling,
Out of so good and so beloved a hand.
4 Yet when again in this same world You give us
The joy we had, the brightness of Your sun,
We shall remember all the days we lived through,
And our whole life shall then be Yours alone. Used With Tune: INTERCESSOR
